Creating ZIP Files from Folder Compare

Beyond Compare has the ability to create ZIP files from files and folders in a Folder Compare session.

To create a ZIP file:

Start a Folder Compare session with at least one base folder loaded.

Select files and/or folders that you wish to include in the ZIP file.

Right-click on one of the selected files/folders and then choose Copy to Folder from the context menu.

Select a side of the comparison to copy to the ZIP file.

Choose a location to save the ZIP file to, for example: C:\Users\user\Desktop\package.zipNote: If the file does not already exist, you will be prompted to create the file in the location you specified.

Finally, choose the desired action for folder structure:

Keep Relative Folder Structure
Determines the minimum difference between all of the selected files' paths, and creates that in the target folder.

Keep Base Folder Structure
Creates the entire path, from the deepest files to the base folder, in the target folder.
